This week at CES the Eastman Kodak Company and Skype announced the availability of the first Skype-certified photo sharing add-on. KODAK Photo Voice, available now as a free download, makes it easier to share photos with your Skype-connected friends.
“Today’s families and social networks are scattered around the globe. Staying connected through photo sharing remains an important element in maintaining closer personal relationships,” said Sandra Morris, general manager of Consumer Imaging Services at Kodak. “Traditional social gatherings that once took place around the radio, television or telephone are now happening around the computer, mobile phone or camera. KODAK Photo Voice marks the next step in this evolution.”
What exactly is KODAK Photo Voice? It lets two people connected via Skype to simultaneously view a customized photo slideshow as they “reminisce and react” to each picture.
“Our goal is to make technology easy to use and Skype is a simple Internet communications service that is changing the way people stay in touch,” said James Bilefield, vice president of business development for Skype. “The combination of Skype’s service and KODAK photo sharing capabilities will make sharing memories even more simple and rewarding.”
How do you use it? After downloading KODAK Photo Voice and Skype, the host selects pictures from their computer, quickly and easily compiles them into a KODAK Photo Voice presentation and “calls” a friend via Skype to watch the slideshow live. Hosts can submit orders for prints and other merchandise that guests select and have them mailed directly to the guest’s home.
